Actually, I'm playing it because I wanted a classical era piece and
because K622 is such a warhorse in the states - everybody plays it. I
wanted to play something others hadn't played so much. It's definately
the easiest piece in my program, but I think it's also easy for the
audience to follow, which is good in a program that also has Schumann and
Hindemith.
